The Interactive Fiction Archive

"The northern 'wall' of the room is a shimmering curtain of light.
In the center of the room is a large stone cube, about 10 feet on a side.
Engraved on the side of the cube is some lettering."

Please contact <submissions .at. ifarchive .dot. org>
if you have questions about the organization or contents
of the Archive.

The contents of the IF Archive -- including thousands of text adventures,
text adventure development tools, articles, essays, hint files, walkthroughs,
jokes, and sly references to Greek politics -- are contributed by the
interactive fiction community, past and present. Thanks!

This Archive runs under Unix and

The server machine is a
state-of-the-art ball-bearing transaxle hamster wheel.

(Please do not abuse the hamsters. They are volunteer hamsters, and can
only run so fast before the wheel starts to squeak. Therefore, we ask
that you do not scrape or crawl this HTTP server. If you
want a complete copy of the Archive, please contact us by email --
we can work something out, particularly if you are willing to make your
copy available by becoming an Archive mirror.)
